Merge tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
some other contributors.
One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
header tables:
* .altinstructions
* __bug_table sections
A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
really shouldn't be a big deal.
The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
preemption. This is only used on module decompression.
This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
has been there for 3 weeks"
